The medication contains two active ingredients:

• Gliclazide (60 mg): Classified as a sulfonylurea, gliclazide works by stimulating the cells in your pancreas (beta cells) to release more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body process the sugar in your bloodstream and turn it into energy.

• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide-class antidiabetic drug, metformin functions by reducing the amount of glucose released from your liver into your bloodstream. Furthermore, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, enabling them to remove sugar from the blood more efficiently.

• Since Glizid-M XR 60 Tablet is prescribed to manage conditions like diabetes, eating a balanced diet low in sugar and high-fibre foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can be beneficial.

• Regular physical activity such as walking or cycling for at least 30 minutes a day can also help in managing blood sugar levels effectively.
